Cardstack - Centering The Internet Around The User


Database system is a term that refers to the application of a database into an integrated system and can be applied for the benefit of the user and also the public interest. A database system will be used to process the data as well as information contained in a database or database, so that information can be forwarded and also used by anyone who accesses the data. The most widely used database system in the past was the centralized database system. The centralized database system is the reverse of a distributed database system, where in a centralized database system, a server that provides information in the database consists of only one server only, as the center and also the host computer for the entire system as well as the jaringna which exists. This type of system has its shortcomings

  • Requires a server computer with a very sophisticated capacity, especially for companies or agencies that have heavy data traffic.
  • Large hard drive capacity
  • If the server is interrupted, all activities will be interrupted
  • Fixes on the server may cause server features to be constrained

Because of these shortcomings many developers are trying to develop a decentralized database system using blockchain. With the implementation of a decentralized database system is expected to add a different user experience from a centralized database system. One service that uses a decentralized database system using blockchain is Cardstack.


Cardstack

Cardstack is an open-source framework and consensus protocol that makes blockchains work for the mass market. Cardstack creates a decentralized software ecosystem that can be deployed across multiple markets such as mobile applications and cloud storage. Benefit Cardsatck for users and software makers is as follows.

The Author is a Fair Gift Distribution

The economic model we propose is to fund and maintain software that runs the world, in a way that distributes rewards fairly among software creators and the open source community that supports it. App buyers enter into direct deals via smart contracts, which coordinate a variety of software development teams, cloud hosting providers, and supported protocols supported by coins. The buyer offers to cover all material costs for running the application, as long as the costs are directly related to the use. Buyers will also pay royalties that are shared between those who develop the software, as a reward to initially create and continue to support all the components that make up a particular application.

For User is User Experience

With the smoothness of tokens supported apps, we can move beyond the one icon business settings per app from today's mobile and cloud worlds. However, for applications supporting blockchain to gain mass market adoption, we need to bridge the gap between the strength of blockchains and cloud comfort. Cardstack's benchmark and benchmark mechanisms combine the new possibilities provided by smart contracts, while leveraging global scale and the incredible cost efficiency of cloud computing, to provide this user experience. Our technology places the strength of decentralization into real-world usage and demonstrates how crypto-based economies, backed by current blockchain protocols, can enrich the world in an equal way.

Cardstack Concept


  • Centering The Internet Around The User 

The new orchestration approach should put users at the center and let it act as their own hub, so interaction with applications and services flows through user-controlled software stacks.


Decentralized User Experiences

Users can start, organize, and make decisions about locally coordinated transactions (ie over the counters) through cloud-based market makers or through logical mechanisms and consensus of multiple barriers. Parity with traditional single-function apps is not enough. The vision of multiple applications and dApps that work harmoniously demands a generation leap in user experience in terms of writing and interoperability.


  • Turning Services Into Tangible Cards 

The necessary orchestration can be made intuitive by changing each application status to a "card", which is a visual representation of key information, which suggests further action through chaining of related cards.


The Rise of Card-based UI

To enable this breakthrough, we need to troubleshoot complex user interface spaces and workflows into manageable sections. Each part is bite-sized, encapsulated, and occurs to look like a physical "card", which can be embedded, chained, filled automatically, installed, triggered, expanded, diverted, cloned, revoked, and approved as part of the cohesive. At the same time, we also need to minimize and set new rules, know how these cards can stand on their own, be embedded in other applications, and act as hosts for other cards when prompted to do so. We can then use the beneficial power of blockchain, which is simplified through card-based ecosystems, to make features previously offered in exclusive and expensive silos available to millions of people worldwide as bona fide open source software.


  • Bridging Blockchain And Cloud Services 

This "card" becomes the primary interaction unit between users and many variants of competing services, running locally, in the cloud, or on blockchain and meeting various aspects of user needs.


(Un)Chain the Legacy Data

We need to break the ancient concept of the omnipotent "application" into smaller building blocks, which in turn are chained back through user choice or system recommendations. Once you change the data into a card, you have it forever.

With the right syndication latches - some based on blockchain technology - the data in user's private clouds can be replicated and edited as necessary, to contribute to the collective view in the cloud of other users or organizations. However, blockchain is really a coordinating mechanism between a group of participating peers. Everyone is free to do what they want with data sent by blockchain. Whether you choose to participate directly through a computer you control, instantiate a private cloud that runs 24/7 on your behalf only, or let a third party website do it for you in a multi-tenant way - it's entirely up to you.


  • Enabling Progressive Decentralization 

Behind the card facade, the process of decentralizing the software ecosystem can be done little by little, allowing the replacement of a common cloud service when replacing the ready-to-act obstacles.


What Users Need To Know

Users need to understand how to interpret the encapsulated information presented to them through this card; they need to choose the right action to take to complete the transaction, persuade others, or grow into greater authority. What they do not need to know is what happens behind this card: whether transactions are sent through cloud-based services or blockchain protocols; whether counterparty is another human or autonomous agent represented by an intelligent contract; or whether the proof of identity and therefore authority is granted by the blockchain ID or face ID on the device.

Token Generation Event

Cardstack’s Token Generation Event is designed to balance the interests of multiple stakeholders so as to achieve these goals:

  • Optimize the token allocation so that the three main participant groups in the Cardstack ecosystem to end-users, software makers, and analytic miners—have access to the right proportion of tokens at each stage of the growth of the ecosystem to maximize utility.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance to all applicable laws and regulations, so the TGE can be conducted in an orderly fashion, as well as to minimize risks for the contributors as well as for the Foundation.
  • Reward community members, especially those who joined Cardstack early in its growth phase, with a clear and fair process for participation regardless of the level of individual contributions.
